Tasting Notes

Details

Aroma of delicious desserts with powerful sherbet and vanilla ice cream and the sweetness of ripe bananas and barley sugar. Waxy milk chocolate follows with cloves and menthol spice and gently toasted cedar wood. Intense pine resin and fresh fruit salad follow. A gentle smokiness wafts from a barbecue on the beach. Subtle fish follows in a creamy sauce with slices of lemon and lime.
